I truly enjoyed the fact that the German-speaking reporter mentioned Merkel claiming that EU could “no longer depend upon the US.”

Merkel said that rather more as an insult to our President when she said it, and I think it was funny that she had to weasel out of it by making Germany out to be like an immature child that needed to grow up and take more responsibility.

Merkel is much much more subdued and deferential now, although it is likely abhorrent to her bossy nature to be so, especially in front of cameras.

She mentioned that Germany “hosts” a lot of our military, but failed to mention that Germany is not “hosting” us for free while it fails to pay what it promised for our protection via NATO. If she keeps that crap up, perhaps one day we will close German bases and move to Poland. She had best watch out.

Our President is strong. Finally they (EU) via Merkel, have had to recognize that, out loud, before all the world.

Germany proves that “a leopard never changes its spots” its in their DNA! The money that wasn’t paid to NATO is secretly being diverted to military weapons research! EU secret army has been mentioned in a lot of articles in the past few years, and Germany has been at the center of it all!

I don’t see any insult in that (if that’s what she intended) since the US under President Donald Trump’s leadership is no longer pursuing or interested in maintaining co-dependent relationships or having relatives move in, and then refuse to leave because they don’t want have grown-up responsibilities.

If she intended that as having a downside, I don’t see it. It suggests that they are actually getting the message.

I don’t think Merkel is going to achieve anything with her silly attempt at a Macron-Merkel one-two punch.
One – vacuous political nobody from France
Two – Wicked witch Merkel, intent on destroying economies, Democracy and all religions but Muslim.

I doubt Merkel will get a fine French state dinner. A fine Virginia ham should be sufficient along with mashed potatoes.

Plus, they should search her room while they’re at dinner. I’d lay odds that Merkel has a voodoo doll of Trump, with custom pins, hidden away.

I love that our President did not authorize “a billion dollars” as was presented to him, to build the new embassy in Jerusalem… wouldn’t even be ready for another decade… doing it for less than half a million instead, using site and portion of a building already there, and ready to move into very soon, instead! Common sense. What a breath of fresh air!

Couldn’t believe the amount of thrashing this old hag who runs the EU world! Loved every moment of handling of this old witch by our fearless PDJT! It was almost a court like thing EU being prosecuted!
Every country America helped became a competitor! There had to be a scheme

Merkel and Macon were a lot more salty in the beginning of Trump’s presidency because they thought he was going to be taken out by the obamahamad crew’s coup. The both were probably being informed on status of the coup by obamahamad or his cronies.
